The four companies and 16 students participating in the RICA programme come together for an intensive kick-off workshop in Essen and Bochum, at which the four challenges are introduced and the individual binational teams formed. In the scope of the opening week the participants – supported by CUBE5, ruhr:HUB and eurobits e.V. – are prepared for the subsequent key stage of virtual co-operation.
The teams develop custom solutions for the challenges of the companies and are supported in this by virtual mentoring and online tools for ideal co-operation.
In the course of a two-day workshop at the Tech 7 in Be'er Scheva all those involved in the RICA programme come together and the student teams present their innovative solutions to the companies.
The students once again have the opportunity to optimise their approaches.
